The 22oz black waxed bomber pours very dark with a full firm mocha colored head of foam. The aroma delivers sweet bourbon, chocolate malt balls, black strap molasses and as it warmed more and more boozy bourbon like notes. Wow, the taste is rich and full and lingers for days. I get smooth bourbon and sugary bourbon hard candy moving into black strap molasses and a black patent like burnt note. Damn, this is a sipper for sure and I poured too much as the bourbon like booze notes build up quickly and become too much before long. Behind those notes is a pleasing oasis consisting of dark chocolate, a bit of coconut and vanilla as well as prune to date to fig like sweet dark fruity esters. Nice sipper for sure.

Nose has a roasted barley, cocoa nibs, soya sauce, coffee, vanilla, bourbon and oak. As it opens up you get red fruit/plum. The pallet has boozy bourbon, cocoa nibs, dates and has a long bitter coffee finish.

Bomber. Pours black with a tan head. Nose of chocolate, bourbon and oak. Taste is big on chocolate with some bourbon and licorice. Mouthfeel is creamy with some bitterness. Some alcohol burn noticeable. A big beer which was good for a cold night like tonight.

Pours a solid darkest brown with coffee head that vanishes to a ring. Aroma is blunted by being poured too cold but notes of plum and fig are there along with a hint of black licorice. Taste is more cocoa, coffee with brown sugar. Slightly lactic. Alcohol well hidden. Finish is bitter, warming and tart. Wonderful.

65cl, new exclusive American brew Anno 2012, with dates and figs, thx to Secret Santa!, very complex sweet Porter, sweet/roasted and slightly fruity/spicy, not too heavy, balanced, hazy, good head, very good brew, yet very expensive!

Pours thick and black with a big tan head. Nose is vanilla, chocolate, coffee, boozey, wood chips and almonds. Taste is sweet mostly with enough bitter to make the taste extraordinary. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, body is heavy and finish is long!
